Xinyi Yang

Xinyi Yang (b. 1999) is a Chinese visual artist living and working in Scotland. Trained in art from an early age and graduating with a major in oil painting, she works across oil, watercolour, and drawing to explore themes of identity, boundaries, and cultural intersection. Drawing from her perspective as an Asian woman, her practice combines figurative and abstract metaphorical symbols with inspiration from classical Chinese mythology and philosophy, engaging in dialogue with Western artistic traditions. Her works often carry an intense, ambiguous atmosphere, reflecting on how existence and identity are understood across cultures. Yang’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Saatchi Gallery in London (POST//FUTURE, 2025), the CICA Museum in Korea (Text-ure 2024), and in exhibitions across the UK, China, France, Italy, and beyond. She is also one of the winners of the 2025 Delphian Gallery Open Call.
